Having the option to opt out is quite useless if it starts harvesting your code the second it enables itself.

I've come to expect better of Jetbrains. This is pretty shitty.

EDIT: Just noticed they are deleting some negative comments from that page. Definitely shitty.

They've been deleting pushback and criticism on a lot of their posts for a couple years now. The "new UI" forced update generated a whole lot of negative feedback, which they deleted and proudly announced that some impossible number of people chose the new UI and that it was exclusively an opt-in feature (which is a blatant lie).

They've become extremely shitty in recent years. I canceled my ten year old subscription to their whole product line because I'm not going to pay to be lied to.

They’ve said elsewhere in this thread that for people that it’s opt-out for they will get promoted on app launch and have the option to opt-out _before_ any data collection. That seems fair to me.

I guess we will have to make our code as shitty as possible...Tabs AND spaces. Mixed randomly...All methods named doStuff()

Fwiw, many languages now support utf-8 characters in names, so do♠() is a valid function name.
